Is there possible the transformer can operate below the rated voltage?

A: Transformers are designed for the maximum voltage they can sustain in operation a lower voltage operation should not bother them

What will happen you f the rated power of transformer is changed?
You cannot 'change' the 'rated power' of a transformer except by changing the transformer for another one. You can, though, operate the transformer below its rated power or, for short periods of time, operate the transformer aboveits rated power.
Can you operate a transformer below kva rating?
What limits the use of a transformer is its operating temperature, as excessively-high temperature will act to break down its insulation. The temperature reached by a transformer is a function of its rating (expressed in volt amperes), so operating a transformer below its rating is perfectly okay.
Can a 240v - 110v stepdown transformer be reversed to supply from180V stepping up to 240Volts?
Transformers can be reversed but their ratio remains the same. In this case a 240 to 120 volt step down transformer has a ratio of 2:1. By reversing the transformer and using 180 volts on the secondary side, there would be a potential of 360 volts on the primary side of the transformer. Also by using the higher voltage on the secondary side, stepping up will drive the primary side voltage above what the insulation factor that is recommended which is 240 volts.A 240/120 v transformer is designed to run at that voltage, and it is dangerous to operate it at a significantly higher voltage because there will be appreciably higher magnetic flux in the iron core, leading to higher power dissipation and a potential fire hazard.For a great explanation of how transformers operate, see related links below.
What is the no load current of 1600 kva transformer?
No load current depends on the design of the transformer, and what voltage it is energized at. It will typically be below 1% of full load, and can be significantly below 1% for utility sized transformers.
What type of transformer will convert 120V-60HZ US into U.K.voltage?
The standard residential nominal voltage in the UK is 230 V (-6%/+10%). So, for the purpose of selecting a transformer, a 1:2 ratio, 120/240 V, transformer will be an appropriate choice.The capacity (volt ampere rating) of the transformer must match or exceed the power rating of the proposed load. You should be aware, though, that transformers will not change the frequency of the supply, only its voltage.Another thing to be considered is the transformer's country of manufacture and where you intend to use it. For example, if the transformer is manufactured in the US, then it will be designed to operate at a frequency of 60 Hz.On the other hand, if it is manufactured in Europe, then it will be designed to operate at 50 Hz.A transformer designed to operate at 60 Hz will overheatif it is operated at 50 Hz, whereas a transformer designed to operate at 50 Hz will operate without overheating if operated at 60 Hz.This means that you will be able to operate a European transformer in the US without any difficulty, but operating a US transformer in Europe will result in overheating -unless it is operated BELOW its rated primary/secondary voltage.So if you intend operating a US made transformer in Europe, then you should obtain a 1:2 ratio transformer, but one rated at, say, 240/480 V. This will then operate without overheating at 120/240 V.
How is 4160 voltage made?
Well first we need to generate voltage from electrical generator. Then if voltage are below 4160 volt step up Transformer is used and if voltage are above 4160 volt step down Transformer is used. Generally voltage produced from generator are low so we need to step up voltage to higher values such as 240 kilo volt to transmit them to longer distances to reduce power losses.
Are bulbs in parallel brighter or bulbs in series brighter?
Lamps connected in parallel are subject to the same voltage. Provided this voltage corresponds to the lamps' rated voltage, then each lamp will operate at its rated power and at its full rated brightness.Individual lamps connected in series operate below their rated voltage (the sum of the voltage drops around a series circuit equals the supply voltage) and will, therefore, operate below their rated power and brightness. The lamps will vary in brightness; those with the lower power ratings will be brightest and those with the higher power ratings will be least bright.
Is a type of transformer used to generate the high voltage needed for driving a picture tube?
Yes, it is called a fly back transformer.See related links below
A transformer is a device used to increase or decrease dc voltage?
The answer below this is not correct, a transformer can only be used on AC not DC. So the statement, "A transformer is a device used to increase or decrease DC voltage" is false The above comment relates to an entry which was obviously deleted. However, the above comment is also false. The ignition coil in of a petrol engine is a transformer, a pulse transformer. It's d.c. which passes through the primary, not a.c. <<>> A: this is a passive component as opposed to a device that is active answer is yes it does that but more importantly it isolates and match in/out impedance's
What is the max dc voltagee to be obtained from a transformer with an 18 v rms secondary using a bridge rectifier ckt with a filter?
About 24 volts. Take 18 and divide by 0.707, then subtract about 1.4 to compensate for the two diodes that will always be in series with the load. Of course, any load will cause ripple, so the 24 volts is with nearly no load.
What is transformative use?
the Transformer depends up on the Voltage transformer input Voltage 230 V . out put volt depend upon the secondary winding of the coil with swg coil ( copper Thickness) Ex 230 V input = step-up Transformer = above 230 v ( like 440 v, 1000v but same current) 230 V input = step-down Transformer = below 230 v ( like 3 ,6,9,12,24,110v, but same current)
Can a oven with below spec Voltage - 400V 3 phase Amperage - 20 AMPS 50/60 HZ Max input - 8200 watts Operate on 440V?
yes it can
